MISS MARY E. MARTIN, FLORAL PARK, NEW YORK. 
Freesia Refracta 
JHba. 
This favorite flower 
comes easily and quickly 
from seed. Sow the seed 
now and have blooming 
bulbs for winter. Very fra¬ 
grant. 
Packet, 50 seeds, 5c. 
Trailing Fuchsia Procumbens. 
One of the very best trailing plants we have for 
house, basket, vase, or window. Foliage small and 
thick. Flowers curious in shape; color red, with 
blue anthers. M ixed with the blooms in great quan¬ 
tities, appear bright red berries a little larger than 
cherries, which stay on for nearly six months. 
Packet, 15 seeds, 10c. 
Cape Fuchsia, Phygelius Capensis. 
During our past dry summer this was never out 
of bloom, while geraniums alongside of it were 
perishing When barely a few inches high, bears 
from 10 to 20 bold, long spikes, completely crowded 
with showy, scarlet drooping flowers, persistently 
produced from May until winter, and even then in 
the house. This is a good plant for bedding and 
for winter blooming. Packet, 50 seeds, 6c. 
Four O’Clocks. 
Marvel of Peru (Mirabilis.) The improved 
Four O'Clock is one of our most desirable plants. 
It grows in any soil and under any treatment. 
Planted like peas, they soon make a row of plants 
smothered with flowers, which have the strange 
habit of remaining closed until exactly 4 o’clock, 
when they burst out in their glory. For planting 
where other flowers will not grow, and ease of 
cultivation, nothing equals them. The roots are 
hardy and perennial, growing from year to year. 
They can also be wintered in the cellar. 
Fuchsia. Double and single 
mixed. 
My seeds of this beautiful plant 
have been saved from a splendid 
collection of named sorts. Sow 
in March in shallow pots and 
transplant when large enough. 
Double and single named sorts. 
Packet, 35 seeds, 10c. 
Ferns. These are greatly ad¬ 
mired for window and 
house decoration, and, when es¬ 
tablished, are very easily man¬ 
aged, and more hardy than most 
other house plants. The seeds are 
very small and fine. Sow in shal¬ 
low boxes of light, peaty soil, 
and keep moist by covering with 
fine moss. A temperature of 60 
degrees is about right. Pkt., 6 c. 
Fragaria Indica. 
Chinese Strawberry. 
Hardy perennial, herba¬ 
ceous creeper, from India, 
with yellow blossoms, and 
bright red fruit, like small 
strawberries. Elegant for 
rock work or hanging bas¬ 
kets. Pkt., 100 seeds, 5c.
